Klydonograph

The Klydonograph is a device that records a surge in electrical voltage on a sulphur-dusted photographic film. The device is credited to John F. Peters, who pursued the idea as a means of investigating the effects of lightning on electric power lines. The resulting graphic varies in size and shape as a function of the potential, polarity, and wave shape of the captured lightning discharge. Klydonograph is generally used to record impulse voltages between 2 kV and 50 kV.
